Operating Conditions; Filling With Fuel - SDMO neo 3000 Benutzer- Und Wartungshandbuch

2 – If the generating set is equipped with an integrated differential protection device at delivery (with the alternator ground connected to
the earth terminal of the generating set)
In the case of occasional use of one or many mobile or rotating devices, the earthing of the generating set is not necessary, but the
ground connection rules listed in point a) of paragraph 1 above must be complied with.
In the case of the supply of a temporary or semi-permanent station (site, show, fairs,.), connect the ground of the generating set to
the earth and follow the rules listed in point a) of paragraph 1 above.
In the case of the emergency re-supply of a fixed installation, the connection of the generating set to the ground of the installation to
re-supply and the electrical connection must be performed by a qualified electrician, in compliance with the regulation applicable on
the installation site. Do not connect the generating set directly to other power sources (e.g.: public distribution network); install a
power inverter.
Mobile applications (example: generating set installed in a moving vehicle)
If earthing is not possible, the grounds of the vehicle and of the equipment connected to the outlets of the generating set must be
interconnected with the ground of the generating set by a protection conductor, in compliance with the ground connection rules listed at
point a) of paragraph 1 above.
The protection against electric shocks is performed by circuit breakers provided specially for the generating set: if necessary, replace
them with circuit breakers having the same ratings and characteristics.

1.3.7 Safety guidelines for exhaust gases
Danger
For safety reasons and for correct operation of the generating set, correct ventilation is essential (risk of intoxication, engine
overheating and accidents involving, or damage to, the surrounding equipment and property). If it is necessary to operate it inside a
building, the exhaust gases must be evacuated outside and adequate ventilation must be provided so that any people or animals
present are not affected.

1.3.8 Operating conditions

The stated outputs of the generating sets are obtained under the reference conditions outlined in ISO 8528-1(2005):
Total barometric pressure: 100 Kpa
Air ambient temperature: 25°C (298K)
Relative humidity: 30%
Generating set performance is reduced by approximately 4% for every additional 10° C and/or approximately 1% for every additional
100m in altitude.
1.3.9 Capacity of the generating set (overload)
Never exceed the rated load of the generating set (in Amps and/or Watts) when it is running continuously.
Before connecting and operating the generating set, calculate the electrical power required by the electric appliances (in Watts). This
electrical power rating is usually found on the manufacturer's plate on bulbs, electrical appliances, motors etc. The sum total of power
required by these appliances should not exceed the nominal power rating of the generating set.
1.3.10 Protecting the environment
Drain the engine oil into a designated container: never drain or discard engine oil onto the ground.
As far as possible, avoid sound reverberating through walls or buildings (the noise will be amplified).
If the generating set is used in wooded, bushy or uncultivated areas and if the exhaust silencer is not fitted with a spark arrester, clear
any vegetation away from the area and take care that the sparks do not cause a fire.

1.3.11 Filling with fuel

Danger
Storage and handling of petroleum products must be carried out in accordance with the law. Close the fuel tap (if fitted) each time the
tank has been filled. Never top up fuel when the generating set is in operation or hot.
Always place the generating set on a flat, level and horizontal surface to avoid fuel spilling onto the motor. Fill the tank with a funnel
taking care not to spill the fuel, then screw the plug back onto the fuel tank.
Never go near a moving part that is in operation if you have loose clothing or long hair that
is not enclosed in a protective hair net.
Do not try to stop, slow down or impede a moving part when it is in operation.
The carbon monoxide present in the exhaust gas may lead to death by inhalation if the
concentration levels in the atmosphere are too high.
Always use the generating set in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot
accumulate.
The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible.
Filling should be carried out with the engine turned off. Smoking, using a naked flame or
producing sparks are forbidden while the fuel tank is being filled.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
